| Off the top of my head, doesn't LIMIT accept two paramters?
Can't you do:
LIMIT 30,2
That'd give you page 2 of a 30+ record result set, right?
Using that, you can pass a page # when you click "next page" so previous
page ends up being current page - 1 (and "if that is less than 1, then
it equals 1... And if it's > recordcount / 30 + 1, then it equals
recordcount / 30 + 1)
Try working checking into that.
